Robots are subject to the rule of law. Generally speaking in the US, the recording of human conversations is more legally risky than the recording of public images. When automated systems like robots approach people on the street, legal issues will arise as to whether they can record conversations they overhear. Robot owners will seek to get consent to audio recording of nearby people. What do you think? --Ben http://hack-igations.blogspot.com/2008/03/robots-...

Efforts to promote better documenation on derivatives will provoke massive campaigns to capture, archive and comprehend electronic financial records.

My research documents reports of the Koobface worm infecting (or attempting to infect) workplace-related computers by way of Facebook. Employers/organizations thus have security as a reason to block social network sites. http://computersafety.wordpress.com/2009/01/19/se... --Ben
